We want ALL children
to receive good quality childcare and education
We are a small but mighty charity, representing nearly 14,000 Early Years Providers
We represent 50% of registered Childminders in England and Wales
Reaching nearly 100,000 children and their families ensuring their providers are well equipped to give them the best start in life
A long term strategy for early education and childcare that understands the unique value of childminders and other early years providers and puts them at the centre of addressing the unequal access that is currently leaving disadvantaged children, including those with SEND and ALN, missing out.
